ABOUT US

That’s why we have partnered up with some of the best and most experienced professionals in the industry, who are here to serve you. Yes, you! We invite you to meet the team below. Most importantly, we are proud to be journeying with you.

Message From the Founder

Hi, Younique person!

​My name is Diana and I am the founder of YOUnique Health & Wellbeing. I am so glad you have joined us. We are here to help you live out the life you were destined to live, in full health and wellness!

My passion started as a young child, when I would go out of my way to help those in need. Growing up in Romania, we didn’t have much, but what we had was each other and gratitude for everyday. Moving to Australia allowed me to expand my horizons and pursue my passion further for helping people.

For the last eight years, I have been in the health, fitness and wellness industry, as a physiotherapist, personal trainer, group class instructor and holistic health coach. My passion lies in helping you discover and create the best version of yourself, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Some of my passions include decreasing stress, pain and unhealthy lifestyle choices, and increasing positive mindset, health, fitness and general wellbeing.

​I created YOUnique because I believe every body and every mind is unique in their own way and there is no one magic formula to fix them all. Rather, like a combination lock, it takes different individuals to treat his/her needs. Your health and wellbeing is unique to you, and has YOU at the center of it!

​I have come to realize there is a gap between health professionals and the general population that needs bridging, whereby we need to outreach outside traditional clinical settings in order to help more people in day to day lives. Not everyone has access to daily or weekly physiotherapy, retreats, stress reduction classes or exercise programs, so my mission is to bring that to you directly, through our online community and tailored group courses in your local area.

​With that in mind, I hope to add value to your life, and I look forward to welcoming you as part of the YOUnique community and meeting you in person.

MEET THE TEAM

TANYA LEYSON

Tanya is a health coach, NLP Master Trainer, nutritionist, hypnotherapist, and avid recipe developer. She has been in the health and food industry for 11 years. She has worked with diverse groups of people, and given them results; in gyms and weightlosscenters, in research, the media, and in corporate. Tanya is also an avid recipe developer and creates healthy recipes and specialised menus. She is the founder at The Good Health Coach.

“My journey in health and wellbeing started when I was just a child. I loved to cook, and would spend weekends making a mess in the kitchen. Then I began taking more notice of the ingredients that I was using. Then when I was 15 I had acne. Dermatologists put me on medication that I later found out damaged the liver. I asked the doctors about diet and they said ‘it’s nothing to do with diet’. I knew this wasn’t right, so I started analysing my own diet. I removed all artificial ingredients, reduced my sugar intake and later removed gluten and dairy. I saw a remarkable increase in the health of my skin, my acne cleared up and I noticed that if I did eat the wrong foods, my skin would be irritated. Not to mention the increase in energy, better moods, and more sound sleep I was having.

I watched and experienced my improvement in health through simple diet and lifestyle changes. I watched patterns of poor health in those around me who did not monitor what they put into their body, their mind and include exercise in their week. I watched friends develop eating disorders because they thought they were ‘too fat’ or not good enough. Then I decided to assist others in improving their health by studying nutrition so I could teach and empower them with what I knew, and assist others to better their health. I learnt that it’s more than a meal plan that is needed to really empower people and create these lasting changes. I then became an NLP Master Trainer and Hypnotherapist.”

As well as being in the food and health industry, Tanya has also been involved in start-up projects, business development and has life experiences across multiple countries that give her wisdom, perspective and a wide understanding, without judgement. Now she works with people’s bodies and minds in a powerful and profound way to achieve real and lasting results. To breakthrough barriers, change reoccurring patterns, release negative emotions, to be, do and have what you want.

He enjoys shifting people’s perceptions away from programmed beliefs, back to their natural state, a blank canvas that is just waiting for their future to be designed on.

He has had extensive experience in various modalities including mindfulness, transpersonal counselling, dream work, sound healing, and meditation and various forms of shamanic healing. He also has a strong passion and an extensive knowledge in the healing benefits of herbs and how they can help us in our journey to being the best version of ourselves that we can possibly be!

His vision of the future of humanity is one of heart-centered, self-aware, self-actualised individuals, living together in harmony within a self-sustainable Community structure that recognises the inherent rights and responsibilities of one another equally, celebrating the common-unity in all of us.

He has recently completed his Reiki 1 certificate and will be pursuing his Reiki 2 and Masters in the near future, adding Reiki as an optional modality to his clients.

He is an experienced active listener and has the ability to respectfully challenge people’s perceptions of themselves and of the world around and within them.

His intention with his clients is to empower the individual to reclaim their inherent power of conscious co-creation. Becoming the change they wish to see in the world, by first changing it in themselves, pioneering the way forward for their friends, family and peers and the future generations to come.

“The most beautiful notion of this work is that, as I am able to facilitate the healing process within the client, I also hold the potential to heal that aspect within myself.

I am excited for being invited as a part of your journey and I look forward to working with you and sharing in the rewards of together learning how to just BE.

I hold this following Mayan greeting in high revere for it recognises and acknowledges that we are all connected and that when we cause harm to another, we are only causing that harm within ourselves:In lakesh – I am another you [Response] Ala kin – and You are another me”

ISABEL GRAHAM

Isabel is a health and fitness mentor who will provide you with tools to make long-term, sustainable changes to your life. A qualified personal trainer, Isabel’s passion for healthy sustainable lifestyle habits are born from personal experience.

Growing up, Isabel’s father was not a good role model for healthy habits. He was obese – so obese that he did not exercise – and smoked a packet of cigarettes a day. This ultimately led to his death when Isabel was just 19. Heartbroken, Isabel resolved not to follow in her father’s footsteps, throwing herself into research about eating healthy food and exercise, determined to avoid her father’s fate.

Unable to find consistent information about how to live a healthy lifestyle, especially while suffering from IBS, Isabel decided to undertake formal training in Fitness and Nutrition to learn the underlying concepts, and to incorporate them into her life.

With a young son, Isabel is conscious of time pressures and distractions that can challenge healthy habits, and how to overcome them in innovative ways. Both by maximising ‘free’ time, and by incorporating her son into exercise and cooking experiences. It is important to Isabel to ensure that her son is raised with healthy food and exercise as the norm.

Isabel will teach you how to make changes one step at a time, make the change stick, then move on to the next change. She will change your mindset, habits and techniques to ensure you enjoy a healthy lifestyle everyday.

“I want people to be fit enough to be able to lead their every day lives easily, with long-term, sustainable lifestyle solutions”.
